LOL. The photo of the bird I deleted and replaced was twice as large as that.

Our very own Singdaw has written an Amazon review of the new book, Kindle version - they haven't linked it to the soft and hardcover pages yet, but they eventually will. https://www.amazon.com/Tis-Season-Murdered-Bruce-Kimmel-ebook/dp/B09ZH6N9FS/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2KPVI6DV2ZH10&keywords=tis+the+season+to+be+murdered&qid=1652142577&s=books&sprefix=tis+the+season%2Cstripbooks%2C134&sr=1-5

Very nice! I just finished reading chapter three.

Okay, Jeanne: It was the generic use. I do have a refrigerator.

And for you and Jane: Most of the older stuff was in jars and pushed back. I threw a lot of it out because it wasn't anything I would have ever eaten to begin with, but I think it was mostly still edible.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #130 on:** May 09, 2022, 07:27:41 PM »

I think, but would not have wanted to test.

Starting a British noir called Jigsaw. It's quite atmospheric. Cruel and gruesome yet filled with bright sunshine. A definite evil under the sun setup.

Jeanne, you are a little further along in The Book Woman's Daughter than I am. I'm only up to chapter 11.

I'm enjoying the story as well as the mention of other things of the time period, such as Singin' in the Rain being at the movies. It's also fun hearing Barbara Pym's Excellent Women being mentioned right after having finished a biography of her.

The great Jennifer Simard, who was a delight in one of BK's online cabarets, gave a truly classy response to getting a Tony nomination today for Company:

"You know, Barbara Barrie got a Tony nomination for this role back in 1970. And I've been a fan of hers since I was 11 years old. By honoring me this way, it just really brings up all of my love and admiration for her all over again."

I forgot to mention that I watched a terrible 1979 film on MGMHD this morning, starring Elliot Gould, Cybill Shepherd and, the only good thing about it, Angela Lansbury.

It was the gosh-awful remake of "The Lady Vanishes". Shepherd simply kills the entire movie with the ludicrous banter they give her to utter, and the script is full of oohings and ahhings over her looks and her body and her legs, and she seems to believe it's all true. The woman couldn't act her way out of an empty theater.

So disgustingly trite and contrived. I don't believe Elliot Gould has ever been so repugnant, although I did try to watch "The Long Goodbye" and found the static scenes of him driving or just looking at things as gosh-awful as Shepherd fawning all over herself.

What a crappy day of movie-watching.

You didn't like Cybill as Hitler?

Well....the Tony Nominations....or as it known at my house - Passover.

I thought you got nominated for the role of Joanne in COMPANY.

No, wait, that was Patti LuPone. Easy mistake!

I had to walk to the bank a block away. The entire trip and transaction took me an hour. The walk home is all uphill, and it's a killer.

Perhaps you should apply to Social Security to buy you a scooter?
